THE PRESIDENT: Earlier this week, I signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act — the most sweeping economic recovery plan in history.
Because of this plan, 3.5 million Americans will now go to work doing the work that America needs done.
...Because of what we did, lives will be saved and health care costs will be cut with new computerized medical records.
